Shelter Friends of the Week

Each week I will be posting stories about dogs and cats who are up for adoption in an effort to create awareness about all of the amazing animals that are living in shelters just waiting to meet you. If you are interested in one of our featured pets or any of the wonderful dogs and cats in need of a new home please contact Washington Humane Society (WHS) or Washington Animal Rescue League (WARL) directly.

Chris is a curious, peppy 4 year old Tiger who was hanging outside of an apartment building in NE DC. One of the residents was afraid he would freeze so she gave us a call. Chris is a friendly little guy who likes to explore new environments with the attention of a detective. Tolerant and gentle, this fabulous feline may be on the older side, but he's still got lots of adolescent cat in him and still enjoys playtime. Come down and meet this sweet little guy today!

Muneco is a ridiculously adorable 5 year old Collie mix who was found meandering through Hyattsville, MD, hoping to find his new forever home. Muneco is a super sweet, loving, social boy who bonds strongly with people. Very tolerant and appeasing, he's very sensitive and looks to people for support. A little stressed with new situations and experiences, he deserves a home where he's given plenty of time to feel comfortable, and where he's provided with confidence building in addition to tons of love and affection. Muneco is full grown at about 50lbs. WHS

Good Times, a 1-yr-old Rat Terrier mix came to WARL from a shelter in Georgia. She weighs 24 pounds. WARL

About Me

I am a veterinarian who works at Friendship Hospital for Animals in Washington, DC.
I live in Northwest DC with my four dogs and three cats Poppy, Frank, Sparkle, Lilly, Furla, Vegas and Breaker. Needless to say with this crew there is never a dull moment in my house.
Working at Friendship is amazing and I cannot imagine practicing anywhere else. I hope you enjoy reading about what we do and all the ways you can give your pet the best possible care. I would be lost without the animals in my life; let me help you care for the pets in yours.
